Though they look like mini-petunias they are not petunias at allno dead-heading is necessary and the fuzzy, faintly aromatic foliage is not sticky. But like petunias they can be trimmed if necessary, like to be fertilized regularly and do best in evenly moist to slightly dry soil. A petite, perky, prolific bloomer, tumbles happily from baskets, boxes, balconies and planters. Sometimes called million bells, it produces hundreds of 1 flowers at a time. The small petunia-looking flowers adds a refreshing flood of color in hanging baskets and window boxes on their own or mingled with other plants and creates equally beautiful containers and landscape beds.Despite its dainty appearance the blooms are sturdy and will withstand most windy and rainy conditions.This fast growing, fragrant bloomer loves the sun yet is cold hardy and will bloom well into the fall.
